President Donald Trump says he consented to a change of aircraft after the Secret Service made a request, citing threats that involved Air Force One, according to reporting from the Daily Mail. Trump’s explanation focuses on the decision-making process for the switch, rather than the operational details.
The coverage describes the aircraft change in the context of elevated security concerns tied to Iran. The outlet attributes the impetus for the switch to information or risk assessments connected to potential Iranian threats against Air Force One, and says the request comes through the Secret Service. The reporting does not provide further specifics about what information prompted the concern, what aircraft replaced the previous plane, or the duration and scope of the heightened security measures.
Across the available sources, the central points remain consistent: Trump confirms he agreed to the change, the Secret Service is cited as the party making the request, and Iranian-related threats are referenced as the background for the security decision.
